Maritime History in Photos with Jack Deo

Presented by Two Books Two Communities at Lake Superior Theatre

Join us at the Frazier Boat House (Lake Superior Theatre) for a fun and interesting evening of photos and history with well-known photographer Jack Deo. Two Books Two Communities (formerly One Book One Community) is presenting an array of programming around this year's titles, The Living Great Lakes by Jerry Dennis and Harborless by Cindy Hunter Morgan. Both books explore boats and freshwater in unique ways.

The Living Great Lakes is the story of an epic journey on The Malabar, a two-masted schooner the author helped sail from Lake Michigan to Bar Harbor, Maine. Battling storms and internal strife, the crew of five navigate the lakes and their connecting waterways, traverse the Erie Canal and a flooding Hudson River, and make their way around Manhattan to Long Island Sound and up the Atlantic coast to Maine.

Harborless is a collection of poems informed by Great Lakes shipwrecks, is part history and part reinvention. The poems explore tragic wrecks in rivers and lakes, finding and forming artistic meaning from destruction and death. Each poem begins in a real, historical moment. Harborless is a 2018 Michigan Notable Book and winner of the 2017 Moveen Prize in Poetry.
